Snakey Sue’s Live Snake Encounters

Snakey Sue is a well known Snake Dancer based in Harwich, Essex, who also has lifelong experience as a Belly Dancer. Sue runs a Snake Sanctuary for people’s unwanted pet snakes and creates an income for their keep by taking them out to events, educational presentations, photo shoots, etc. Sue has taken snakes out to meet the public since 1994 and has run the Snake Sanctuary since 1996.

Are you a snake phobic (Ophidiaphobic)? Why suffer? Sue also runs courses for people to overcome their fears.

Conquering your fear is so empowering – people have cried with relief and deep emotion when overcoming their fear and realising how misunderstood snakes are.

Sue is always looking for support and sponsorship for her Snake Sanctuary, there is no funding available for animal rescue or causes, private donations and bookings keep the sanctuary running. It costs £6000 per year to run.

Snakey Sue and Ra

All of the rescue snakes are kept at Sue’s home, many people like to come to visit and young people love to help care for them. By relocating we made it possible for more people to visit. Young people learn animal husbandry and social skills by working with Sue and her reptiles – more youngsters can now come for work experience and the animals can continue to be self supporting by generating income.
